🌿 As you might have noticed, I mostly use this platform to post photos of nature or the symbiosis of nature and human (mostly if not exclusively this specific human - me 🙋). However, sometimes I find myself in a city or in a village that just takes my breath away and I feel like I have to take some photos that aren't exactly nature-related, since they're mostly man-made. I feel like this is slowly evolving to be my style for this feed - moody nature shots with a sprinkle of architecture just to separate everything and to keep the flow going. 🌱 • 🌈 This shot was taken in Ljubljana at the Dragon bridge. Many of you might not know the legend of this dragon, however he has been a symbol of our people for centuries. And the legend says that it was Jason and the Argonauts (who fled from Greece after they stole the Golden fleece) that defeated this savage monster and saved the farmers of the Ljubljana region. 🦎 • 🐾 Now, the legend might be true, but we'll never know. We just know that he has been guarding this ancient city bravely and loyally for hundreds of years, never straying from his position. And I think he deserves a hug for that. I'm not exactly tall enough to hug him, so I think a handshake with one of his claws is close enough, don't you? 😊 • 💚 Do you have a legend about your home town? What is it?

The Bled Island at the Lake Bled, Slovenia. - One of several buildings on the island is the pilgrimage church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, built in its current form in 17th century.

🌊 The feeling of throwing everything on the ground (metaphorically and phisically) is so strong at the moment. Everything seems to be piling up and there is no escape in sight. 🌿 • 🙈 I have been dealing with the stress by completely cutting myself off from everything for thirty minutes each day. For those 1,800 seconds it's just me and my thoughts. 💪 • 💚 How do you deal with stress on the daily?

🇸🇮 A W O K E N 🇸🇮 Today marks a year since I took this photo, and it’s taken me that long to figure out how best to edit it! 😂 This is still one of my all time favourite sunrises, in what is quite honestly one of my all time favourite locations. Slovenia is such an incredibly beautiful country which I can’t wait to visit again. For better or worse, Bled is becoming more and more touristy, but with good reason. It’s almost impossible to take a bad photo around this lake! #Globeshotz #DepthofEarth #amazing_shots #landscapescapture #igerslanscapes #LPM #earthlandscape #landscape_joy #Travelling_UK #NGTUK #LifeoftheUK #LandscapePhotoMag #LandscapePhotography #Photography #IGSlovevenia #LoveSlovenia #ifeelsLOVEnia #ItsCultureTime #TopSloveniaPhoto #CTDSlovenia #longexpoelite #IG_Shotz_LE #UK_Shooters #NikonSchoolUK #NikonEurope #NikonTop #IGWorldClub #IGWorldClub_Sunset #OurPlanetDaily #IGWorldClub_Landscape @NikonTop @ap_magazine (at Ojstrica) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2d7H7jRzj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vx1b1dn3ewgs

🌈 Today I have been feeling kind of nostalgic. Due to some family matters I couldn't take a trip for the last two weeks and it shows. I have been distant, melancholic and a bit passive aggressive concerning my everyday tasks. My soul aches for nature. And thus I have turned to my happy place: editing and re-editing my photos, trying to find that sweet spot that makes them look cohesive even though they were taken at different locations, times and weather conditions. 👑 • 🥰 How do you deal with wanderlust when you cannot take a trip?

🦎 What is green, has four legs and breathes fire? This fella over here! 🌈 That's right, Mr. Dragon is back for a second photo (this time without me photobombing him). • 🐲 The two photos were shot on the same day, during a trip to the Ljubljana city center. The sun was shining, the crowds were going wild over 1930's clocks and old dusty handkerchiefs littering the stalls of the Flea Market and the dragon was quietly watching over all of us. 💚 • 👇 What do you think about dragons? Are they real and just hiding from human detection, were they alive in the past and are now extinct or are they just an awesome fairytale?

🌿 Nature holds so many fascinating secrets and sometimes we just have to change our point of view - sometimes we have to climb to the top of a tree, so that we can see the most amazing view and sometimes we have to crawl through the bushes to find a tiny flower in bloom. 🌼 • 🌱 It doesn't matter how big or small, nature constantly surprises us with amazing and thoughtful gifts only she can give us. 💚 • 🍀 What do you do to change your point of view?

🌿 Today is such a stressful and happy day for me. I feel elated and simultaneously caged in a spiral of madness. I'm so grateful to have you by my side through thick and thin - through all the good and the bad. You're my inspiration to keep on creating and publishing content. Because of you I keep growing and finding new ways to explore my thoughts. 💚 • 🤗 Emotions can often be painted as negative and a separate thing from business and life: we are taught to be strong and emotionless, not showing others our vulnerabilities, our weak spots. We are taught emotions should be only shared between family and friends, not to be exploited by strangers. But I believe emotions are the only way we can truly communicate with one another. Emotions are the only thing separating us from inanimate objects that keep getting more and more life-like. We should show our most inner-selves to others, open up about our problems, successes and achievements. Emotions help us connect. 🍀 • ✨ What do you think, does sharing our emotions help us establish a bond with others?

🦢 The story of The Ugly Duckling has always fascinated me. The misfortune of the baby swan not knowing where he belongs, being mistreated by his peers and longing for somewhere to belong struck a cord every time I heard or read the story. 🌿 When I was still small, I used to ask my parents why the ducks and other pond creatures treated the baby swan as they did. Sure he was different, however he lived in the same pond as the others did; he had wings like them and a beak as well - wasn't he then the same? ✨ My parents couldn't really answer my question until I was a bit older and understood how humans treat each other and that the reason they do it is ignorance. I drew the lines between our societies and the story of The Ugly Duckling and understood why the other creatures were mean to him, however the ending had quite a big shift in the treatment of the baby swan... He grew up and suddenly the other swans took him in as their own and only then did the ducks see that he was different. Different but still beautiful. 💚 • ⛰️ As I read the story at a fairly young age and then again as an adult, I could see how differently I perceived the same story with the knowledge of our culture. The subtle nuances the author wrote into the story are still present today, over 150 years after the story was first written. And I don't know whether to admire Hans Christian Andersen for his ingenuity and penmanship or feel troubled that after all this time we can still see the effect being different has on the people around us. 🌎 • 🦢 What do you think: should being different mean exclusion from social clicks or not?

🌿 Adventure can find us at unexpected places that we visit. It may be hiding right besides the last house on the left or on top of a mountain range. The adventure could start out as a quest for a hidden treasure or as a path to find yourself again. It could be a fun game that you and the other kids staying at a hotel played when running through the empty, cavernous halls; knocking on each and every door, then running away and giggling when somebody started to open the door. Or it could be the time when a friend's dad started to tell a ghost story, while roasting marshmallows in the middle of the woods, but then stopped because he heard a howl in the distance. An adventure could be everything and anything - you just have to decide whether it's worth being called an adventure... ⛰️ • 👇 What is an amazing adventure that you remember from your childhood?

🌿 Seeing nature come back to life after a long period of hibernation is quite invigorating. All the flower buds fight for a chance of warm sunlight and all the leaves emerge from a deep slumber. 🌻 I love watching the little buds becoming a hotspot for all the local bees that want to pollenate the nature around them. And using a macro lens to capture that beauty is so astonishing to me, because real life can in cases like these seem so inferior to a macro photograph. ⛰️ I am in no way saying that photos are better than nature, however the way we perceive the nature around us with the naked human eye can sometimes lack the definition of a macro lens. Plus, memories fade and in a month or two, we will forget how a certain flower looked or a certain leaf fell off of a tree, but photos immortalise those moments. All we need to do is open up that awesome album of the day we want to remember and there it is - all the little souvenirs we took along the way so that we could remember the amazing trip we took to that one particular spot. 🍀 • 🌿 I usually don't buy gifts or souvenirs for my closest friends and family because of a few different reasons. However I believe that photos are a beautiful and more unique way of capturing the essence of a place, rather than buying a trinket that will only be left forgotten on a windowsill, gathering dust. 💚 • 🌼 What is the most interesting souvenir that you have ever bought or made on one of your holidays?

🌿 Self reflexion is the name of the game. I look at and into myself every single morning, taking a deep breath and wishing myself a fulfilling day - not a happy day by any means, but a day of adventure. I believe into bettering myself every day bit by bit. And I believe that going to bed sad because I didn't do anything to make me happy is self destructive on many levels. ✨ We, as human beings have so much to live for, however the monotony of school, family get-togethers, coffee dates and work responsibilities can drag us down if we do not find joy in everything we do. We have to look at everything as a teaching moment. 💚 • 🌻 What is something that you have been going through that you found to be sad yet oddly invigorating?

🌿 Travelling can be quite expensive in this day and age. We are surrounded with information and do not know which way to look as travel agencies and websites are all competing for our attention. However our western culture has gotten in our heads with the hardworking motto of: "If you work all year you can take a break for two weeks." But when did we get so tied down to this way of living? 🌻 • 🌵 It might be exciting to be working towards a goal - maybe it's that amazing trip to Bali you have been planning for six months every day after work or a cruise around the Mediterranean sea with your family. However, if you have a wandering soul, that might not be enough for you. In time you will start resenting your workplace, your colleagues and even your family for letting you go down this path of monotony. 🌷 I've always been of a similar mind - a wanderlust soul trapped in a cage of societal rules we have to follow. You need change - start travelling on the weekends as well. 😊 Day trips are an excellent choice for those that want to be on the road 24/7 but can't. Plus, it'll make time fly by quicker until that big trip that you'll have in a few months. ⛰️ • 🌹 Explore your hometown or surrounding nature with new eyes - if tourists can come every year to explore our countries, why can't we? 💚 • 🌼 What is a town or place nearby that you have wanted to visit for a while now but just didn't see the point in it? 👇 Comment down below, let's get to know each other! 😄 • • • • • • • • • #canonslovenija #slovenialovers #slovenianblogger #slovenianphotographer #sloveniangirl #zbiljskojezero #zbilje #zbiljelake #igslovenia #igslovenija #sonyalpha #sonya7ii #sonyalphafemale #sonyshots #shotonsony #ingabau #theblondebibliophile #ifeelslovenia #myway #itsculturetime #femmetravel #femmetraveler #dametraveler #shewhowanders #sheisnotlost #agameoftones #visuallyobsessed #visualthrillers #visualscollective (at Zbiljsko Jezero) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvBaCtEFzAf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n00r3ss5lvlq
